Please don't come to this place. Their pedicures aren't efficient. They barely scrub your feet. I had to ask for them to use callus remover on my feet. They don't do pedicure right. You will be disappointed. read more

Pedicure- absolutely terrible- I would never go back there. Didn't push cuticles back. Polish not smooth. Tech on her cell phone the entire time So unprofessional. Manager rude didn't give me cash discount. Didn't honor $10 credit I had. Terrible experience read more

Came in at 7pm and they close at 8. I asked for just a Polish application. I wanted French tip polish on my tires so i sit down and he starts polishing and it's kind o sloppy. So when it comes to the white line he does it thick and i ask for it to be thinner and he barely thins it out. It's late and I'm in a rush so i deal with it. I all hope much and he charged $35 to just apply Polish. I didn't get a pedicure or anything else. I will not be back. read more

The shop is clean, modern, and comfortable. The staff are all wonderfully polite and helpful. I got the volcano pedicure and my friend got the basic one. Neither of us had a single complaint! The chairs were comfortable and the massage features were probably the best that I have experienced in all of the salons in all of the states that I've been in. The pedicures were reasonably priced, starting at $35. The next time I visit Gahanna, I would be thrilled to return for another experience! read more

This was my first time here. I feel like I have found a new home. Love this place. It's relaxing and quiet. Katie did my nails today she was so pleasant and I totally enjoyed my experience. I will be back in a few weeks for sure. I enjoyed it so much that I bought both of my daughters a gift card to come there and have their mails done read more

Peaceful environment... Great customer service... Asked if I wanted to drink (water, soda). Prompt service...(Note...I came at 3:30 pm on a Monday and was seated immediately for a pedicure). Pleasant DELUXE PEDICURE experience... Not sure why the price point is slightly higher ($5 upcharge) for guys. read more

I love Central Nails! They do great work and everyone is so nice and they go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable. I think the day I took these pictures we had a mother and daughter duo working on us. I wish I could remember their names. They did great work and were so nice! read more

Literally the most perfect set of nails I've had done to date. The wait was a bit long but that's because I was a walk in. The wait was well worth it. The nail tech who worked on my nails was gentle and patient which resulted in my nails being even in length and the shape being perfect and smooth! If you're gonna go here ask for Ben he does an amazing job! read more

This was the worst salon experience! My teen showed me her bloody fingers after a nail dip treatment and I was horrified!! she didn't know she could tell me she was bleeding. She sat through 45 minutes of torture. One hour later she has 3 nails still bleeding! The manager apologized, put some antibiotic ointment on her fingers and then still tried to make me pay for her service! I refused and then later realized that she overcharged me for a service I didn't receive to make up the difference. The man doing my teen's nails kept saying sorry to her - he knew he was cutting her up! I am calling the health department and any other regulatory agency I can to visit this establishment. What was supposed to be a special treat turned into a nightmare. read more

This is one of my favorite "budget, no frills" nail salons on the east side of Columbus. I typically just get a gel polish, $31 plus tip, so not crazy. They are super speedy with walk ins and the quality of work is great. I've had gels last 4 weeks without a chip! If you're looking for a serene/spa day atmosphere, this isn't the place for you. BUT if you're looking for a quick in and out, get the job done well place, I recommend it. read more

Long time ago I had gone here a few times. It appeared back then to be more of an assembly line mentality. The nail technicians were very professional then but not friendly to anyone. So at that time I stopped going. However, Fast forward you now. I was in a hurry a few months ago and raced in to get my nails done. The young man who greeted me at the desk was very friendly professional and kept the place running smoothly. I had Van give me a manicure which was really good. I've come back here over the last few months and Tracy has done a remarkable job on my dip manicures each time. The young man gave me a card with the ladies named that I've had so I could make an appointment with them in the future. I've had great work done with both Van and Tracy. They're very friendly. Everyone who works here is excellent at nails and very welcoming. I enjoy the environment even the clients enjoying chatting as well. Great quality, great prices and a great experience. read more

I recently got my nails done at this salon and was very upset with the service provided. This was my second time at Central Nails. The first time I got a set of acrylic nails for a reasonable price which turned out pretty good overall. This time, I got a set of dip nails which were wayyy overpriced (more than the acrylics). Not only did they over charge me, I also didn't receive the shape or color that I asked for. The station was very unsanitary and the man that did my nails used his own fingernails to try and take off my old acrylics. It was quite painful as he was filing them down and he was way too rough with my hands. My nails are uneven and crooked. Most definitely not worth $80!!! I am not impressed what so ever and will not be returning. read more

A couple of years ago, I was a frequent visitor to Central Nails for the best pedicure in town. Work stuff got in the way and I stopped going for a while... not because I went someone else, I just wasn't getting pedicures. Fast forward to December 31st. I went into Central Nails as a happy new year treat and birthday event for the Mister. Even after a couple of years, the staff remember us and were very friendly. We chatted it up with everyone while they gave me an amazing pedicure. I highly recommend Central Nails and send everyone I know there. read more

After reading all the good reviews I thought I would give them a try since they were close from work and I needed mani done ASAP. They were very flexible with time and I really like that. I went in and sat down after 10mins wait. The nail tech buffed my nails but then went right to mani without shaping off my cuticles. Also the gel was not close to my cuticle at all, created a pretty good gap on each nail and the sides. Esthetically speaking my nails looked terrible. Also one hand was noticeably shinier than the other. I still tipped $5 but I was not happy! Guess I'm going back to my normal salon. read more

I have been going to Central Nails for several years to the same person. My nail tech, who was always friendly to me, was cold the last two visits. When I called for an appt a few days ago I was told that they would call me back in a minute. I never received a call. Nothing has changed with me so I don't understand why I'm being treated this way. read more

I'm bummed to have to downgrade my review a little bit, but I feel like I had to give a few updates: +The pedicures are still awesome! Seriously, I've never had a less than great experience here. +The staff are all super friendly and helpful. I love all the wonderful ladies who do the pedis! +The price is a little higher than in my original review (but that was 5 years ago), but I can still walk out only spending $30-35--depending on if I'm feeling sugar-scrubby that day. +They take appointments, and they can almost always take one in the same day! -The shop is a little bit rundown after all these years of giving amazing pedicures. The massage chairs are getting kinda janky, and everything just looks more worn and cluttered. The wear and tear definitely isn't enough to keep me away, but I just didn't want people coming here expecting luxury. Don't get me wrong, it's still very clean and they do fantastic manis and pedis! Pro tip: Take cash with you for tipping--you can't add it to your card! read more

I went here today after being fed up with Lush Nail Bar. All I can say is WOW!! They did a GREAT job! My pedicure was done by Lynn and my nails by Ben. Lynn was quiet but thorough. Without my even having to ask, she immediately began fixing all of the problems that developed due to the Lush staff not doing a great job. (Problems I've never had before either. Ingrown nail, callous). Lynn spent the first 30 minutes doing what should have been PREVENTED in the first place then she spent another 30 giving me a great massage. Ben was also quiet but attentive. He knew the name of each guest who entered. He joked with some, was serious with others. When I told him what I wanted he said he didn't know if he could do it but would try. He did a great job! I will definitely be back!! Only note is to take cash for tips. They don't put it on your card. I think another review mentioned that but I forgot to go to the atm before my appointment. read more

Central Nails provided me with a perfect pedicure! My toes look awesome AND my feet are really soft! The technicians were really friendly and cute. They know when to converse with you and when they can chat with their friends working along side them. They work efficiently, but not too fast as to feel like you're rushed. The chairs are nice and the whole shop has nice calm wood tones. Bryant M. introduced me to Central Nails and I know I'll be back. I haven't had such a good pedicure since my old girl moved out of state 3 years ago! Plus, this pedi was 100,000 times better than the one I got at the Aveda Institute, which when compared to Central was a complete waste of my $25. For $2 more I got a fantastic pedi job done by professionals! It's a good idea to make an appointment if more than one person is going at a time because they were pretty busy at 4:30 on a Thursday. They seem to have a loyal following of customers, which is a good sign and everyone along side us getting pedis were super nice! great experience! thanks Bryant m. and central nails, of course!! read more

My daughter and I wanted to do something fun together so we decided to get our nails done. Of course I went onto Yelp for ideas and found this little gem right in my backyard (Go Gahanna). Central Nails reviews were on point. The staff was polite, friendly and quick. There were tons of people coming and going. We will be back again. **PS --- if you are paying by credit or debit bring cash for their tip. They don't have it set up to take tip on their charge slips yet. read more

Had a great experience here over the weekend. My friend and I were nearby and we both wanted mani-pedis. After a short wait, Central Nails took good care of us on a busy Saturday. Everyone in the shop is friendly but not overly friendly, and $44 (before tip) for both services is a great deal. Even better, my manicure that I was hesitant to bother getting - my skin is oily and polish often just peels off my fingers - still hasn't started to peel or chip like it always does. They also put labels on the OPI bottles that tell you what polishes come from special color collections, when applicable. Will be going back regularly! read more

Best acrylic and gel in Columbus!! I've been to a couple of other places and none compare to central. My nails look beautiful and my gel lasts at least 3 weeks. There is generally not a wait and the techs are very friendly. Tips are cash only. read more

Got my first pedicure ever. Teresa was pleasant and efficient. I love the massage chair I got to relax in while she was doing my toes. I had a lady a couple of months ago tell me she loves these folks right next to Papa John's at Stoneridge Plaza. read more

Loved my pedicure from Kim--very good job. Unfortunately, they seem understaffed and no one was at the register for me to pay at the end of my appointment. Very unorganized. Also, the way the pedicure chairs are set up make it extremely difficult to get up and into the chair. I'll probably be back but hope for a more pleasant experience. read more

I was told I would be seen in five minutes and thirty minutes later they're still not to me. I called in beforehand too. Don't tell someone you'll be right with them if you can't be there. Nobody even acknowledged me! Absolutely ridiculous. read more

I have lived all over the country and have gone to many nail salons but none truly beats Central Nails. You are not just a number there. They truly take the time to cut your cuticles instead of pushing them in. You guys are the best. My manis always last 3 weeks and they look amazing. read more

Central Nails - Central Nails did my nails the day I got engaged.. thank goodness! - Nail Salons Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Frustrated this go around. I normally go here and have had each of the technicians at least once. The younger gentleman who works there is absolutely awesome And he was quick, only took about 45 for a soak off and new dip set. My dip nails lasted 5-6 weeks! I was in desperate need of a new set so I did a walk in and got a lady who not only took 2+ hours but they are extremely thick, the shape is not what I wanted, polish is missing on some of my nails, there was polish on my skin and she really hurt my fingers when she was working. I definitely could have bought all the supplies myself and did A better job. Another thing I did not like was them soaking my entire hands in acetone. it dries my hands out so bad and drive me bonkers. I was too nice to say anything at the time but the more I look at them I'm disappointed I spent $60 and really should get a new set but I don't want to sit in the chair for another hour or 3 and spend more money. hoping they last a few weeks. read more

If you are looking for cheap service, then this is your place. It's like a sweat shop. They herd you in and herd you out!

The nail techs are great at what they do, however beware of the eyebrow waxer. Very friendly, but dear God! Leave the hair removal to the professionals! My gel normally lasts 3-4 weeks and never has it peeled or chipped. read more

Central nails is clean and professional. They are kind and do incredible work for a reasonable price.

I went to go get a soak off because I had on acrylic nails and as the guy is trying to cut them down , he keeps cutting them way to low to the point it was ripping my real nail off my skin , OUCH !!!! Now I have painful finger nails . Cheap but not worth the pain ! Save your money & find a different place read more
